sad_detective_manWhat's the worst privacy compromise that you are willing to admit you make?
- Waze . They know my location when I drive, and there are no alternatives (AFAIK) for traffic jam. I don’t use an account though, it’s not tied to Google or anything.
- Kagi because all the others are worse. I may try SearX again to see if it’s good now.
- PayPal sucks but it’s good for subscriptions.
- Tuta and Bitwarden . They have a link to PayPal but the data is E2E encrypted.
Most of the time, I don’t mind a compromise as long as I can keep the data to myself and encrypted, or if the smartphone application can run without any permission.
The biggest threats for me in the above list are PayPal (they know what I buy), and Kagi (they know what I’m looking for). I could find a way to remove Kagi though…
Wait what’s wrong with Waze and Tuta? The PayPal tie?
djdarrenThat… is unexpected. Why would they make a competitor to their own product?
They didn’t. As far as I’m aware they bought the competition.
Waze serves a slightly different purpose to Maps, being a friendlier face that’s more of a driving GPS than Maps is. And while they don’t really market it as a Google product, people will use it thinking it’s a good alternative to using Google or Apple.
